I've been trading on their platform for a little over a month. The instant forex account is perfect for my swing trading method. I don't have to worry about the consistency rule which is a huge relief. The support team is also helpfull.
Micheal
One thing I learned is that the trading environment matters a lot. Here, it feels supportive. I'm on the instant crypto account. Not having the pressure of a challenge was a huge weight off my shoulders. I could start trading my plan immediately

David Olivier
What surprised me was the simplicity of it all. There are no hidden clauses or gotcha rules. I signed up for the instant crypto account, and the process was clear from start to finish. The trading platform is robust, and having access to so many crypto pairs is a massive edge I was curious about the payout speed so I withdrew a small amount. It was incredibly fast. They just do things the right way.

Answers, Upfront.
Clear rules, policies, and expectations - before you start.
What is Instant Lite?
Instant Lite is our entry-level instant account. You trade Funded from day one under a single published rule set.
What is Instant Pro?
Instant Pro is our premium instant account. It follows the same rule definitions as Instant Lite, with more flexible limits. Instant Pro also offers a 0% Profit Buffer add-on (Instant Lite does not).
What’s the difference between Instant Lite and Instant Pro?
Same rule definitions — different numbers.
- Profit Buffer: Lite 5% vs Pro 1% (Pro can optionally be 0% with add-on)
- Max Trailing Drawdown: Lite 4% vs Pro 5%
- Max Daily Loss: Lite 3% (balance-based) vs Pro 4% (balance/equity — whichever is higher)
- Best Day Rule: Lite 15% vs Pro 25%
- Minimum Withdrawal: Lite $25 vs Pro 2% of account size
- Trader Payout: 75% standard (both) → 90% with add-on
Is this a challenge or evaluation model?
No. There are no evaluation phases. You trade Funded from day one under one rule set.
Is this a subscription?
No. Accounts are purchased with a one-time fee.
What markets can I trade with Hydra?
Hydra supports Forex, Crypto, and Futures under the same unified product system. You choose your market and trade with the same rule structure and pricing model across supported markets.
What does “native liquidity” mean?
Native liquidity means each market is supported with execution and liquidity designed for that market — not a one-size-fits-all setup. Hydra runs a unified product framework across Forex, Crypto, and Futures while keeping trading conditions optimized for how each market actually trades.
What instruments are available to trade?
We offer a broad selection across Forex, Crypto, and Futures. Availability may vary by region.
What platform do you use?
- Forex: cTrader, DxTrade, MatchTrader, GooeyPro
- Crypto: DxTrade, GooeyPro, CLEO (coming soon)
- Futures: DxFutures, DeepCharts
If I purchase another account later, does it replace my current account?
No. Each purchase creates a separate account. Existing accounts remain active.
What add-ons are available?
- 90% Trader Payout (+20% fee)
- Weekend Holding (+10% fee)
- 0% Profit Buffer (Instant Pro only, +30% fee)
When can I purchase add-ons?
Add-ons are selected at checkout.
When can I request a withdrawal?
Withdrawals are available once you meet payout eligibility and complete KYC:
- Profit Buffer reached
- Best Day Rule satisfied
- KYC complete
What is Payout Protection?
Payout Protection is an optional feature available on certain plans.
- On some plans (such as Instant Lite), it may be added at checkout for an additional fee.
- On other plans (such as Instant Pro), it may be included.
If your account has Payout Protection and you have already met your payout requirements (such as the Profit Buffer and Best Day Rule), and later your account closes due to max daily loss, your eligible positive results may still qualify for a Trader Payout — subject to review and verification.
Payout Protection does not apply to accounts that violate our Prohibited Activity rules (for example, breaking news window rules).
What happens if I do not pass verification (KYC)?
Withdrawals require successful verification when requested. If verification cannot be completed, the account may be closed and profits may be forfeited. If you’re unsure you can pass verification, confirm before trading.
How often can I withdraw?
First withdrawal: anytime after you are eligible.
Subsequent withdrawals: once every 30 days.
Is there a minimum withdrawal amount?
- Instant Lite: $25
- Instant Pro: 2% of notional value of account
What is Trader Payout?
Trader Payout is the percentage of profits you receive on withdrawals.
- 75% standard
- 90% with add-on (optional)
Can I withdraw in crypto or fiat?
Yes. Fiat (via Rise) and crypto withdrawal options are available.
How long does it take to receive my withdrawal?
Most withdrawals are processed within 48 business hours. Timing can vary due to verification, review, banking hours, or crypto network conditions.
How do I request a withdrawal?
Withdrawal requests are submitted through your dashboard.
Can a withdrawal cause my Instant Pro account to close?
Yes.
On Instant Pro, if the max trailing drawdown is below the starting balance at the time of the first withdrawal, it will be moved to the starting balance once the first withdrawal is processed.
On accounts with the 0% Profit Buffer add-on, withdrawing all available profits will cause the account to close if the post-withdrawal balance meets or falls below the drawdown limit.
What is the Profit Buffer?
The Profit Buffer is the profit threshold required before withdrawals are allowed. Only profits above the Profit Buffer may be withdrawn.
- Instant Lite: 5%
- Instant Pro: 1% (or 0% with Pro add-on)
How does Max Trailing Drawdown work?
Max Trailing Drawdown limits total drawdown as your account grows and caps at the starting balance. It is calculated based on the closed balance High Water Mark (not floating P&L). If the threshold is breached, the account is closed.
- Instant Lite: 4% trailing
- Instant Pro: 5% trailing
How do Trader Payouts affect drawdown after it is fixed?
A Trader Payout reduces the account balance, but the trailing drawdown limit does not move.
This means the remaining distance between your balance and the drawdown limit may decrease after a payout. If the balance reaches the drawdown limit, the account will close.
Example:
$100,000 Instant Pro account
Account size: $100,000
Max trailing drawdown: 5%
The account grows to $106,000. At this point, the trailing drawdown has reached and capped at $100,000.
After an approved $5,000 Trader Payout, the account balance becomes $101,000. The drawdown limit remains at $100,000.
The account now has $1,000 of remaining distance to the drawdown limit.
If the balance falls to $100,000, the account will close.
How is Max Daily Loss calculated?
Max Daily Loss is the maximum loss allowed in a single day. If the threshold is breached, the account is closed.
- Instant Lite: 3% (balance-based)
- Instant Pro: 4% (balance or equity, whichever is higher)
What is the Best Day Rule?
The Best Day Rule limits how much of your total results can come from a single trading day when requesting a Trader Payout.
It is calculated using the largest equity-to-equity gain within one trading day, not just closed trades.
At the time of withdrawal, your highest single trading day cannot exceed:
- Instant Lite: 15%
- Instant Pro: 25%
This rule is designed to encourage consistency rather than reliance on one outsized day.
How does the Best Day Rule work after a withdrawal?
After an approved Trader Payout, the Best Day Rule resets.
For the next Trader Payout cycle, we measure your best trading day and total profits only from the time of the last approved Trader Payout forward. Earlier profits do not carry into the next calculation.
Example:
If a $100,000 Instant Lite account reaches $108,000, total profit is $8,000.
The first $5,000 is the required Profit Buffer and must remain in the account. If a $2,000 Trader Payout is requested and approved, the account balance becomes $106,000.
For the next Trader Payout cycle, the Best Day Rule is measured only on new profits earned after that payout. The initial $8,000 run does not carry forward into the next calculation.
Can I trade during news events?
Opening new positions within 3 minutes before or after a high-impact news event is prohibited. Closing existing positions is allowed (including stop losses and take profits). Trades opened inside the restricted window may be removed and the account may be closed.
Is there an inactivity rule?
Yes. If you do not place at least one trade every 30 days, the account may be closed for inactivity.
Can I hold trades over the weekend?
Weekend holding is not allowed by default. A Weekend Holding add-on is available. Crypto accounts with Weekend Holding can also trade on weekends.
What happens if I break a rule?
If a rule is violated, the account is closed according to the rule set. Eligible profits (profit buffer + best day rule met) may still be paid out, subject to review and verification.
What is prohibited trading activity?
Strategies that exploit execution, pricing, or program rules are not allowed. Prohibited activity includes, for example:
- Exploiting pricing errors, platform bugs, or latency
- Copy trading from any account that is not your own
- Arbitrage designed to exploit execution or pricing discrepancies
- Using insider or non-public information
- Front-running or trading that creates regulatory/liquidity-provider issues
- Using third-party “passing services,” trade-copy networks, or coordinated group trading
- Any trading that jeopardizes Hydra’s relationships with brokers or liquidity providers
If prohibited activity is detected, Hydra may remove trades, close accounts, deny withdrawals, and/or permanently restrict participation. For the full policy list, refer to our Terms of Service
Is copy trading allowed?
Copy trading is only permitted when all accounts involved are owned by you. Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any method that bypasses individual strategy is not allowed.
What are the leverage and position size limits across different markets?
Hydra provides optimized trading conditions for each market. Limits are defined as follows:
Forex Leverage:
- FX: 1:50
- Metals, Indices, and Oils: 1:5
- Crypto: 1:2
Crypto Leverage:
- BTC & ETH: 5:1
- Others: 2:1
Futures Exposure Limits:
- 25k Account: 1 Contract / 10 Micros
- 50k Account: 3 Contracts / 30 Micros
- 100k Account: 6 Contracts / 60 Micros
- 200k Account: 12 Contracts / 120 Micros
Are there position size or order limits?
Maximum position size is generally determined by available margin. There are contract limit sizes on Futures accounts. We may adjust margin requirements or apply limits to order size or open positions due to market conditions or risk controls.
How many accounts can I have active at one time?
You may have up to one (1) active account per plan size, per product, per market, at any given time.
This means that duplicate accounts of the same product, same size, and same market are not permitted.
For example:
- Two Instant Lite 50k Forex accounts at the same time
- Two Instant Pro 25k Crypto accounts at the same time
However, holding the same plan size across different markets is permitted.
For example:
- Instant Lite 50k Forex + Instant Lite 50k Crypto + Instant Lite 50k Futures
- Instant Lite 100k + Instant Lite 50k + Instant Pro 100k
Who is the counterparty to my trades?
To manage risk and execution, trades may be hedged, routed, or internalized depending on market and conditions. For full details, refer to the Terms of Service page.
What brokers or liquidity providers do you use?
We aggregate liquidity across multiple sources. Providers can vary by platform and may change over time. For full details, refer to the Terms of Service page.
What is the minimum age required to purchase?
You must be at least 18 years old (or the applicable minimum legal age in your country).
Are there any restricted countries?
Hydra does not onboard users from certain jurisdictions due to international sanctions, regulatory requirements, or internal compliance policies.
At this time, we do not accept users from:
- Pakistan
- Russia
- Cuba
- Sudan
- Somalia
- Iran
- Libya
- Syria
- Lebanon
- Vietnam
- Romania
This list may be updated at any time without prior notice.
